Pedro Almodovar And Penelope Cruz Are Collaborating Yet Again, Hopefully With Drag Queens

Spanish director Pedro Almodovar is pairing up with actress Penelope Cruz once again:

According to Almodovar, “Broken Hugs” (Los Abrazos Rotos) will feature Cruz, Blanca Portillo and Lluis Homar.

You know, we’d never before noticed what a dumb-sounding word “hugs” is. Anyway:

“As for Penelope, I’m going to delve into one of her little-known facets,” Almodovar said of the Spanish actress, who was nominated for an Oscar for best actress for her role in his most recent film, “Volver.” “This won’t be a comedy, but humor will be present.”

Almodovar, always reluctant to give details about his films in advance, said he will start preparation on the film in January. The script, which he said is his longest ever, tells of a “crazy love.”

All love is crazy, all of the time. Like that time we dressed in drag and took on our sibling’s identity in order to seduce his long-lost lover and trick him into letting us star in a movie about his life and… Oh. Wait.
